You are the Author of your Story.
Your ‘Purpose’ is the trail you leave behind by following your YES feeling
.
When feels complicated or overwhelming, that means it’s still old conditioning
.
The truth is always simple
.
we can let go of worrying and pre-planning, drop into the ❤️and open up to ℛ ℰ ℂ ℰ ℐ Ꮙ ℰ
.
it is not only safe to be present, but truly the only reality that exists

🤯mindset Monday🤯 I have been doing a lot of work on mindset lately, as I am expanding into more health and nutrition coaching and growing my business in a new and unfamiliar way.
.
.
How many of you are wanting something new and “bigger” than what you have now!?! It’s scary right??
.
.
The biggest thing I have learned is listen to your feelings and quiet the voices In your mind. Spend more time in meditation! It resets your brain and puts you in a higher energetic frequency to create and manifest. Then, focus on the feeling you want to feel, not so much the things you want but the feeling you want from those things. Feel them as if they are already happening. Be thankful for those feelings!
.
.
Also, throughout your day use your feelings as a navigation tool. Start playing a game: if you are feeling good and happy about something your heading in the right direction, if you feel angry or sad about something your heading in the wrong direction: out of alignment. Don’t judge your feelings just play a game with them and move closer to things that make you happy.
.
.
And most of all, the more you talk about the things you don’t want and the things going wrong the more you get of those things. So, focus on the things going good and talk about those more than the bad. Start working on finding happiness in the here and now, present moment, even if things aren’t where you want them to be yet!!

All I want to do is delight—
Throw the mask off,
Not care and not worry,
Not explain what I mean nor
Define what I do.
Just be whatever I feel like being.
Just relish in the energy of this moment.
I want to be so alive that
I feel like the moon,
Throwing tides just for fun,
Creating because it’s what I’m
Here to do.
I want to love the color orange,
Just because it craves delight too.
I want to cry because
I’m so in love with the miracle of
Being alive.
I don’t want to feel like I’m
Striving.
I want to try and feel like I’m
Flying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to write the poetry,
Read the poetry, and
Breathe the poetry.
I want my life to be a
Beautiful,
Messy mosaic that even I
Can’t help but fall in love with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Create! Create!
I feel the winds of fury
Blowing through me.
Even my bones are smiling.
I hear my veins pulsing with
Desire, like branches
Dancing in the breezes.
Wildflowers are waving and
The ocean blossoms with a new idea.
Crazy and beautiful is
How I want my life to feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let it be. Let it be.
I write to be free.
I read to tap in.
I absorb the poetry.
And so it shall be.
And now I am this energy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Be so in love with the miracles of being alive! ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Feels so wonderful to ground after many weeks of travel 😁
-.-.-
My go to recipe is often a combination of nature and crystals 🌲🍁
-.-.-
I use this Carnelian Dragon’s Egg to channel the Earth Element through my Being -stabilizing my chakras
-.-.-
Carnelian is a powerful crystal to use in mediation anytime you have a lot of thoughts buzzing in your head, perhaps after big life changes or lots of travel
-.-.-
It deepens your connection to the breath, allowing you to fully rest in the present moment ⚛️

Spent today shifting from that Hustle mindset to one of Alignment. I made this leather diffuser bracelet as a sort of totem to remind me that when I stay true to myself, everything will fall into place. Kinda weird since this week is Black Friday, but 🤷‍♀️. My little shop is mostly just for fun now and I don’t feel a need to push anything. I’ll have a code, but I’m not stressing it, and it feels so good. 🙌 These oils are affecting me in such amazing ways. 💛💛 #valor#plantmagic

When I first tried meditating, I thought I couldn't meditate. I thought that I was doing it wrong, or that it wasn't for me.
.
And that's actually what most people experience! Because it's usually the first time we actually start observing our thoughts, instead of being completely immersed in them.
.
You actually start to see how crazy the monkey mind is. And that's the first step to unwinding your true self from the egoic matrix.

If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.
― Mandy Hale.

“This feeling of being lonely and very temporary visitors in the universe is in flat contradiction to everything known about man (and all other living organisms) in the sciences. ⠀
⠀
We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” ⠀
⠀
Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. ⠀
⠀
Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated “egos” inside bags of skin.” ⠀
⠀

One of the reasons I love videography and photography so much is that it encourages you to slow down. You need to be present to capture the moment... and you see things you never would have if you were just going at normal pace...
No matter where you are or what you're doing you always have a space that offers peace, abundance, and energy. That space is within you and within each moment you are gifted to experience. All you need to do is slow down and breathe. Slow down and observe what's around you. Can you be aware of the silence between the spaces? Can you see the fine details of nature's art? Feel your lungs expand with energy as it takes in another breath of life. Look at the colors all around you... the movement that dances before you... the wind at the trees, the people bustling about. Life is beautiful. We just need to slow down to see.
🌈😍

allow yourself to fall into the fragility of this human experience. sinking fully into this moment , as you begin detaching amnesia from your bruised mind. feeling the depths of your being beginning to reawaken from slumber, stirring the unfelt emotions cradled within. woven throughout your existence, stories have emerged, whispering confusion. cultivating a collection of beliefs drowning your heart within a river fallacies. numbing the dreams that linger within the cosmic energy of your soul. be brave dear one. be brave enough to melt into your fears, birthing unwavering trust through collapsing into the chasms of uncertainty. for you have forgotten the wings you carry, so tenderly woven into your existence. remember? remember how they held you above the indigo seas and lilac skies, your curiosity fueling their solidity. leap into the realm of the unknown, and your wings will resurface once again. I promise. unveiling their existence through the unshakable faith lingering within your walls of skin. for by plunging into the dark abyss with Love as your guide, you will find yourself soaring into the arms of freedom,embraced by her eternal warmth.🕊

Someone was asking me the other day if I still practiced and teach yoga because I haven’t posted anything related to yoga in a long time.🤦🏻‍♂️👋🏼🤷🏻‍♂️
Todays digital yoga landscape has become built on attention and visibility, what matters is not so much the content of what you post but their existing at all. They must be there. My presence online has suddenly become a record of my existence. I’m no influencer. I have no desire to be one and I’m very much at peace with my ocasional post about non yogic content. If your yoga depends on recognition – more specifically, on acts of recognition, then perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your purpose.
Everyday I get to watch my peers being cryptically classist, although ableist to their social privilege. I get to watch them praise sexual predators. I watch them with their teacher minds while they insist on “fixing” people, as if there was anything to fix in the first place.🤔
In this environment, interiority, privacy, reserve, introspection – all those inward-looking, quieter elements of consciousness – begin to seem insincere. Stories are the new sincerity. Removing the mediating elements of critical thought becomes a mark of authenticity, because it allows you to be more uninhibited in your sharing. Don’t think, just post it. “Pics or it didn’t happen” – that is the populist mantra of yogis online. Show me what you did, so that I may believe and validate it. Throw me a self help book, amaze me with expensive terms like external hip rotation or movement consciousness, goddess, tigress, flow. Fill my feed with festivals and neo-orientalism bullshit acts and insta contests where the requisite is to be followed.
.
This isn’t me giving up on yoga on social media, this is me letting go. Perhaps this is the last yoga picture I’ll share! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣follow to keep updated on this decision!🤣 #holyhell#ashtanga#yoga#diebeforeyoudie#beherenow#yogaforthepeople#realpeopleofashtanga#heresy#scratchthesurface

Don’t let Other People Define your Life
•
I used to be someone who cared deeply about what others thought, the idea of people not liking me or approving of me KILLED me inside
•
I spent my life on a stage unconsciously performing for everyone I came into contact with. Making sure they saw me as nice and loving. Always putting their needs before my own, so people wanted me around and admired me
•
What I didn’t realize at the time was, that’s ego. EGO cares about being liked and performs for the people around us
•
Eventually, that became exhausting. A few years ago my dad got sick and the world I knew started to fall apart. Multiple people I love died. My relationship fell apart. Between failing gut health that left me constantly fatigued to two of the worst external injuries I’ve had as an adult, there was too much going on to keep performing
•
So I gave up. I let go of the need to take care of other people and stopped caring about if friends, family, or people I knew saw me as nice, loving, and concerned with their needs
•
All the niceness in the world wasn’t going to help me take care of me. So I just let it go. The identity as the helper. The desire to care for others before myself. The rejection of my own needs
•
I can happily say, I’m a few friends lighter and a whole lot more fulfilled
•
I no longer care about being nice. I’m here to be authentic. Sometimes that means drawing a harsh boundary and not reaching out to friends who ask too much from you
•
I know what it’s like to constantly be in people pleasing mode, wondering when the people you love are going to take care of you. The answer to that question is when you start taking care of you
•
One of the #1 goals of most of my clients is stop being overly entangled in the needs and desires of others so they can start defining their own life. If you’re curious to find out more about this process of breaking free of others judgements and expectations, drop an emoji below or send me a private message and let’s chat 💓
